canes to grow to the plant. Remove all weak canes and suck- 
ers, so as to throw all the strength into the young bearing 
canes. Topping canes in the early spring will strengthen the 
canes and aid in picking. Raspberries respond readily to fertile 
soil, and sufficient fertilizer or manure should be used to keep 
the soil in good fertile condition. 
BLACKBERRIES 
ELDORADO 
A heavy yielding blackberry that spells success every- 
where. The heavy producing quality of Eldorado has placed 
it first among blackberries. About every good quality possessed 
by other blackberries is emphasized in Eldorado. It has a sweet 
fine flavor, shiny jet black and its berries are of enormous size. 
For home or commercial planting, it is equally good. They 
ripen just after the raspberry season when but little other 
fruit is available. They are the last of the spring and summer 
berries and the trade is willing to pay well for them. 
Its sturdiness and freedom from disease, especially orange 
rust, the common enemy of all blackberries, has made Eldorado 
the leading variety with commercial growers.

CULTIVATED BLUEBERRIES 
and HOW TO GROW THEM 
Probably no fruit has undergone greater improvement 
within the past few years than the blueberry. Improved named 
varieties now offered are the result of cross breeding the native 
wild blueberries, which are now miniature berries compared 
with the new hybrids, which grow in such large clusters. The 
See for this new fruit, fresh, frozen or canned, is tremen- 
OuUS. 
These hybrid blueberries make a most profitable crop. 
These bushes make a most attractive ornamental shrub for 
the lawn or for hedges.
